Please share your story as an LSKM 221 student by comparing your knowledge, skills, experiences, abilities, and attitudes towards music education from the start of the semester to the end

Some of the content of music education was difficult for me to understand from the beginning of the semester. However, I am currently learning in the field of music education. I discovered the importance of music in a child's development and learning. The various approaches to music education. At first, I thought music (songs) was all about different beats, but after careful study, I realized there are music elements such as meter and rhythm, pitch (melody), and dynamics.
